As for the checkpoint situation in the final level, the way 3US does it *is* the normal way. Throughout the entire game if you die against a boss you have to go through a couple of level segments again to reach the boss, and the final boss in 3US is just like that, it's a normal situation. It's 3JP which does something abnormal by having a checkpoint right before the boss itself.

Anyone claiming "the 3JP version is normal difficulty and 3US is hard difficulty" is either full of cope, or just haven't played the game(s) and is repeating memes like a sheep, often backed-up by more memes (muh rentals).
This is just like the Ninja Gaiden 3 situation, the entire argument is based on assumptions like looking at the release date (as if the devs wouldn't have been deving both versions at the same time since in a case like this they'd know from the start it'd have an US release) and claiming "it's by Japanese devs so the Japanese version is Normal difficulty" which doesn't mean anything either.

3US is normal difficulty and 3JP is easy difficulty. Deal with it. There is a reason why they needed to add an "easy mode" for the JP re-release of 1. I really need to find that quote again of Shinji Mikami explaining the difference difficulty in Resident Evil by saying Japanese players were more casual.
